After Xiang Nan joined the team, he immediately threw himself into intense filming.
Although he joined the cast a little late, he quickly made friends with everyone in the cast thanks to his strong affinity and got along quite well with everyone.
Therefore, when filming, everyone cooperated with each other, and the progress naturally went very quickly.

In August, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" was released.
In this movie, Spider-Man takes on Kraven the Hunter and Electro.
Kraven the Hunter is cunning and proficient in shooting, traps and fighting. And because of the blessing of witch medicine, his physical strength, speed, and spirit are no worse than Spider-Man.
And the power of Electro is even more powerful. The electricity he releases is astonishingly powerful, comparable to Thor in the Avengers.
Therefore, the opponent Spider-Man faces this time is quite terrifying, and it is also the strongest opponent he has faced since becoming a superhero.
This sense of oppression also made the audience always fearful for the little spider while watching the movie.
However, evil does not prevail against good, and in the end, the little spider relies on his own intelligence to defeat all the villains to the ground.
It is worth mentioning that he used his own intelligence, unlike in the original "Spider-Man" where Dutch only knew how to use the technological equipment given by Iron Man, but his combat awareness and intelligence were not put to use.
It was as if without those equipment, he would become useless. That's not Spider-Man, Spider-Man has always been on his own.
Because there are two villains, one is proficient in conspiracy and traps, and the other is proficient in destruction and killing. Therefore, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" requires wits and wits, fighting scenes, and both literary and martial arts are excellent. Naturally, the audience will enjoy watching them. .
Therefore, the final box office in North America was US$400 million, and the global box office was US$1.5 billion, which is quite impressive.
…
In September, "Pacific Rim 3" was released, telling the story of humans entering a different dimension, blowing up the monsters' lair, and completely blocking the passage to the earth.
The script was originally written by Xiang Nan, because the original "Pacific Rim 2" had a bad reputation and failed miserably at the box office. With an investment of US$150 million, the global box office was only US$180 million, with a loss of more than US$100 million.
Such a huge loss also caused Legendary Pictures to directly cancel "Pacific Rim 3".
However, Xiang Nan had previously made corrections to the shortcomings of "Pacific Rim 2", making it a box office hit of US$760 million, making it very popular, so "Pacific Rim 3" was put on the agenda.
In the previous two films, humans have been fighting monsters for more than ten years, from the initial resistance, defense, and attack to the current counterattack.
As the last part of the "Pacific Rim" series, humans will complete the final battle with monsters. In order to make this movie well, Universal Pictures also specially provided a production cost of US$250 million, an increase of US$100 million compared to the previous film.
Therefore, compared with the previous two works, its production is more sophisticated, the scenes are larger, more monsters appear, and the battles are more intense. It can be said that it has completely reached a new level.
Therefore, its box office is naturally considerable. The final box office in North America was US$280 million and the global box office was US$940 million, bringing the series to a successful conclusion.
However, although the "Pacific Rim" series is temporarily ended, there is still the possibility of restarting it in the future.
Because in these three films, humans gradually realized the commercial value of monsters.
Its blood, bones, muscles, and hair are all of great commercial value. In different dimensional spaces, there are endless secrets and treasures.
Therefore, it is not ruled out that there are human careerists who will dig a new passage to another dimension. Maybe the monsters will make a comeback by then, and the drama of mechas versus monsters will be staged again.

In September, Xiang Nan finished filming "Doctor Strange", and then he and Cong Shan returned to Hong Kong.
At this time, Ning Jing had also graduated with a doctorate in law. He did not choose to go into business, but joined a public welfare organization in Los Angeles as a public interest lawyer. He hopes to use his knowledge of law to help the poor.
Xiang Nan only supports and encourages his son's ideas. Anyway, there is no lack of food and drink in peace, and a life of worry-free life. In this case, it is better to do something you want to do.
After returning to Xiangjiang, Xiang Nan took a look at the repair work of the house and was still very satisfied.
In three years at most, he will return to live in Xiangjiang. When the time comes, this will be his resting place, so it must be comfortable and comfortable enough.
"Husband, why do we have to go back to Xiangjiang? Isn't it good to live in the United States?" Cong Shan asked doubtfully.
Counting from the late 1980s, they have lived in the United States for thirty years, which is longer than they have lived in the mainland. They have long been accustomed to life in the United States, so why should they return to Hong Kong?
You must know that Xiang Nan has lived in Xiangjiang for less than five years in total, so he didn't have too deep feelings at first.
"You must understand the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Don't think we are very prosperous now, but in fact our situation is very embarrassing. In the United States, we have always been regarded as outsiders, and we are being guarded and discriminated against.
Although we are strong, our foundation is too shallow. If we stay there, we will be like a big tree without roots. If the wind blows, we will be blown down.
But in Xiangjiang, our foundation is strong enough. Even if there is a strong wind of level 12, we can still stand firm. Xiang Nan explained.
The United States is said to be a country of immigrants and a melting pot of multiple races, but in fact there are very high barriers between various races, and ethnic groups cannot integrate well.
For example, white people are rarely seen in black areas, and black people are rarely seen in white communities. The Hispanic community and the Chinese community are also very closed, and they don't have much contact with other races.
Moreover, racial discrimination in the United States is relatively serious. Even though Xiang Nan has become a top Hollywood star and the richest man, with a net worth of more than 300 billion US dollars, you can find discriminatory comments and rumors by just searching on the Internet.
Even Ning Jing chose to be a public interest lawyer because he was often discriminated against while growing up. Even though he went to the best school in Los Angeles, and his classmates were all rich and noble, so they should be very qualified, but he did not escape this.
Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, so no one dared to bully him, but he could still feel the ridicule in words, the contempt in attitude, and the alienation in actions. It is precisely because he suffered injustice since childhood that when he grew up, he hoped to fight for the rights of disadvantaged groups.
In addition, with the economic downturn in the future, international conflicts and social conflicts will become more and more serious. Staying in the United States will become increasingly dangerous.
In comparison, Xiangjiang is the safest. After all, this is a small place and cannot make big waves. What's more, with China to the north, there is a certain degree of protection.
Moreover, Xiang Nan has been operating here for more than 30 years, which can be said to be deeply rooted, and it is definitely not comparable to the United States.
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Cong Shan had no choice but to nod.
She knew that Xiang Nan always did things with a purpose and planned ahead, and would never do anything in vain.
Since he said he wanted to immigrate to Xiangjiang, he must have a reason.
